Experience the Emmanuel Difference
Hospice is truly about life. More importantly, it’s about how you want to live. We know there are a lot of considerations when it comes to end of life care, so we invite you to experience the Emmanuel Hospice difference.
You and your loved one’s lasting memories are our first priority and we go to great lengths to help you achieve them. Over the years, Emmanuel Hospice has formed amazing relationships and partnerships with the community, care providers and local businesses that allow us to make patient wishes a reality. We’ve helped people go on a romantic date with their spouse, write and record love songs, spend the day at a golf course, go fishing and hunting with family members, visit the lakeshore, see their son’s handiwork, and enjoy time with horses like they did as a child.
We’re accredited by CHAP, the gold standard for our industry, and offer complementary services that are unparalleled in West Michigan.
Massage Therapy
Certified massage therapists visit patients to assess pain and tension levels and adjust techniques and pressure as needed to alleviate stress.
Music Therapy
Board-Certified music therapists use techniques that include singing songs from a particular era to promote memory, playing instruments to increase focus and composing music to process emotions.
Essential Oils
Essential oils are primarily used to improve mood, reduce anxiety, improve sleep and mitigate nausea and pain. Most frequently, the oils are administered environmentally, using a diffuser or having patients inhale fragrances directly.
Companionship
Personal time with volunteers provides comfort and support through activities like reading, helping with tasks and even simple conversation.
Acupuncture & Acupressure
Journaling
Patients capture their life story through a series of questions as they enjoy reminiscing and reflecting on their fondest memories by sharing photos and videos.
Pet Visitors
Virtual Reality
Without leaving one’s home or bed, patients can return to places of emotional significance or go somewhere they’ve never been before.
